Annual Workshop for Spoken Latin to be held In Lexington at the University of

Kentucky from 17–24 July 2013.

These summer workshops have become internationally known for providing a stimulating occasion in which participants can live for an extended period of time in an all-Latin environment, speaking and hearing no language but Latin. In 2013, the Conventiculum Lexintoniense will celebrate its seventeenth consecutive year. From the inception of the Conventiculum to the present time its organizers have been, and are still refining, revising and adding to the Conventiculum’s range of activities - all with a view to enhancing the experience of those who take part. First-time participants and people new to spoken Latin are especially welcome, and the Conventiculum features special sessions designed with these people in mind.

The Cathedral School of St. John the Divine is looking for a full-time leave replacement Latin position. The person will teach two sections of sixth grade, two of seventh, and two of eighth. The sixth grade classes meet twice in a six-day cycle, while the seventh and eighth grade classes meet four times in the cycle. It is a total of 20 class meetings in the six days. We estimate that the position will last from six-12 weeks, and it will start on Monday, November 19.

The text is Jenney's First Year Latin, and it is used for all three years.

For more information or to apply, please contact Kevin Roth, Head of Upper School at kroth@cathedralnyc.org or at 212-316-7578.
